  The Perfect Storm in 2018?

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been sadly watching as the number of jws in other countries are decreasing (for the most part), while the numbers in the us are strangely increasing.

  while i question the organization's self reporting numbers, i think 2018 may be the year for another mass us exodus.

  leah remini's show will be focusing on jws in her show on a&e.

  They have lost the ability to catch to many new victims at the doors and the magazine racks are a massive disappointment. But they are using nicely produced propaganda videos at the conventions. The ones in may not be so easy to get out but with no new ones from the field the cult will still loose.

  In the end those that are in the ones that wake up are still those that have been victims of the cult. The rest will still be asleep. Like me and my wife , I woke up because of things that didn’t add up and then was trashed for questioning. The wife on the other hand was praised for her faith her friends rallied around her and she didn’t really loose. She still has all the material things that I supply etc, so why the hell would she wake up.

  The only difference I see now is with the internet it’s easier for those that wake up to become informed and because of this whole family’s are leaving.

  last year i had a brother tell me that one proof evolution is false is that he doesn't see it happening today... i was going to bring of viruses evolving so fast that new vaccines must be developed each year but felt he was too closed minded to receive it.

  today i was listening to the audio book of 'an ancestors tale- richard dawkins' and noted oe point that shined through.. here is evolution happening>>>.

  We also see it all over the world in places called Kingdom Halls . In these places there are groups of humans that congregate yet we see evidence that they are becoming less and less human more of a subspecies, some are calling them zombies yet that’s not an accurate title because thier actually not dead. It’s not sure what the best title for this group should be but the evidence is very telling.

  Will the Watchtower Corporation continue to lie and deceive just to sustain itself into the future ?

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the wts has been selling and promoting christ's return and the end times since the late 1800's, right through all of the 20th century and still continues today on the same core doctrinal premise.. 1914 was set as a year of christ taking position upon his heavenly throne followed by choosing the wts as his earthly guided organization in 1919 according to the wts.

  leaders at that time.. the actual truth is that the wts is a publishing house and it was inherently pressed to make up doctrines which would gravitate attention to its published goods, accurate and honest bible interpretation was a second lesser concern.. the original heads of this religious publishing house (c t russell) first proclaimed that christ had returned in 1874 and 1914 was going to be the year jesus was going to cleanse the earth of all wickedness etc.

  this was obviously a false doctrine tainted with ignorance and a bit of commercialization in reality.. so the question remains what will the wts do in the future, what will the wts do as far as doctrines to allure the general public at large ?

  Local elder dies of starvation

  by Steel in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  well , not really.. our hall recently had a secret collection for our head elder who is almost on the verge of becoming homeless.

  i guess he lost some cleaning contracts because his clients were just sick of his no shows because of his pioneer work.

  there is always something more important to do than earn a living.. this is the same assholes he is always shaming people to not doing enough.

  These kind of guys need to fall on hard times !

  When I was having a hard time back in the recession times a few years back , I went to another state trying to get consistent work . There I saw plenty of JWs struggling even those that had good trade skills. It was one of many things that helpeded me to wake up. There no god that’s going to help you, you have to help yourself!

  Cong accounts analysis?

  by Farmer Jim1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  anyone on here an ex accounts servant?

  i’d be interested in a projection of what percentage of contributions come from elderly jw’s.

  i.e, money that will be diminishing over next 5 or 10 years as these ones pass on.. i estimate that in one of my previous congs 50% of the contribution totals of approximately £400 each month were being made by the over 70’s demographic.. within the other 50% were pioneers and low paid workers who put in regular but small amounts.. i guess when the accountants ring the alarm bells you start cutting the biggest costs; full time servants, buildings, printed literature.

  I always found that the ones that could contribute the most were usually woman and they got their money from a worldly husband or family member.

  Why did the Israelites need a 603,550 man army?

  by eyeuse2badub in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehober told the israelites at zechariah 4:6 .

  “this is the word of jehovah to ze·rub′ba·bel: ‘“not by a military force, nor by power, but by my spirit,” says jehovah of armies".

  why in the hell did he have them form a 603,550 man army according to numbers 1st chapter vs 46;.

  Why did it take 10,000 men working for 7 years to finish a temple that was no bigger then about 6000 square feet? Oh and to answer your question, unicorns there was unicorns back then and they needed to protect themselves!

  Annoying jws

  by Jrjw in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a 'concerned' jw in my congregation rang me earlier and said she's noticed my daughter sits miserable at the meetings and said she's a right miserable girl in general.

  i said she's happy and hyper when she's not at the meetings they're just really boring and she doesn't want to be there.

  apparently i'm a bad parent coz she feels that way.

  Tell her to pound sand. Jesus says don’t judge don’t exalt yourself etc... Tell her to mind her own business, Jesus also said take the rafter out of your own eye before you pick on someone with a sliver in theirs!!!

  You may think that but do you like being lied to? Do you like an organization that has policies in place that help to destroy the lives of young one that have been sexually abused? And what about policies like those of blood transfusions that tell people not to have blood but then turn around and say you can have cow blood. You can sugar coated all you want and say it’s really no big deal if people want to quit just go away and stop complaining but what about those of us that have family that are victims of this cult?
